Perhaps you could find out whether it's a regression by trying an old firmware version?
If this would help the maintainers I could do this but I'd have to revert my code and uasyncio too.

May I ask: at what point is supporting/using the esp8266 (with MP) counter-productive in your opinion? ...
Reasons for:
Using MP on ESP8266 is OK. If you're prepared to build firmware quite substantial applications will run on it. Some hackable commercial products use it (Sonoff kit for example). People still have ESP8266 hardware which it seems a shame to discard.
Reasons against (additional to your points):
Its realtime performance is lousy, but the same goes for the ESP32. I'm still to be convinced about the capability of either for long term running without a WDT.
For serious professional class applications the Pyboard D is the only solution (IMO). It wins hands down with excellent realtime performance and rock-solid reliability. But its price is too high for some.
